By adopting us as His children, God causes His Name to be put upon us, and brings us into His own blessedness. https://sa.hpwl.org/sermons/3212123359671 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 21 Mar 2021 12:00:00 +0000 James Hakim 0:49:55 no James Hakim - Genesis https://sa.hpwl.org/sermons/314212335242005 God is with believers to bless them now. But how you think and speak about what to do with your body when you die should be a testimony that you consider it an even greater promise that He will be with you to resurrect you unto everlasting glory. https://sa.hpwl.org/sermons/314212335242005 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 14 Mar 2021 12:00:00 +0000 James Hakim 0:49:45 no James Hakim - Genesis https://sa.hpwl.org/sermons/3821201116096 However much the Lord provides or takes away in earthly treasure, these great reversals anticipate that great reversal when we shall all see that earthly treasure is inherently worthless and heavenly treasure has infinite, inherent worth. There is a great reversal coming, and it will reveal the answer to the question: is money the chief end of your God, or is God the chief end of your money? One way to describe a believer is: someone who has discovered that he has nothing, but that Christ is everything, and who discovers that Christ has taken him to be His own… so that now he has everything! https://sa.hpwl.org/sermons/3821201116096 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 07 Mar 2021 12:00:00 +0000 James Hakim 0:48:04 no James Hakim - Genesis https://sa.hpwl.org/sermons/31211510523541 The world's actions are blessed to us by our God in His providence, and it is especially so that we can glorify Him by being a blessing spiritually to all the world. https://sa.hpwl.org/sermons/31211510523541 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 28 Feb 2021 12:00:00 +0000 James Hakim 0:58:20 no James Hakim - Genesis https://sa.hpwl.org/sermons/221212334534891 "The Lord with us" is the blessedness of the blessing that we can see. "The Lord with us" is the assurance of the blessing that we cannot see. "The Lord with us" is the guarantee of the blessing that has not yet come. God has surrounded us with blessing that we can see, and He has told us of unimaginable blessing that we cannot see, but it requires faith in Him to see either one. https://sa.hpwl.org/sermons/221212334534891 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 21 Feb 2021 12:00:00 +0000 James Hakim 0:48:57 no James Hakim - Genesis https://sa.hpwl.org/sermons/21521208272654 We must neither have false hope in man nor despair about man, because we have One, Whose sure plan and presence ought always to gladden and strengthen us https://sa.hpwl.org/sermons/21521208272654 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 14 Feb 2021 12:00:00 +0000 James Hakim 0:57:33 no James Hakim - Genesis https://sa.hpwl.org/sermons/2121140367530 The reality of God's overruling sovereignty comforts us by His purposes in our grief, His goodness even through our own sins, and His perfect plan in the midst of our very uncertain ones. https://sa.hpwl.org/sermons/2121140367530 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 31 Jan 2021 12:00:00 +0000 James Hakim 0:50:47 no James Hakim - Genesis https://sa.hpwl.org/sermons/125211323296023 Sometimes, when the Lord puts our faith to the test, part of the reason is to display His work of His grace that He has been doing in us. https://sa.hpwl.org/sermons/125211323296023 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 24 Jan 2021 12:00:00 +0000 James Hakim 0:56:46 no James Hakim - Genesis https://sa.hpwl.org/sermons/1192104403879 It is God's generosity that gives us every good thing—including and especially the grace by which we and others give either to Him or to one another. And this generosity is most supremely displayed in Christ, to Whom we ought to respond by giving our whole selves https://sa.hpwl.org/sermons/1192104403879 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 17 Jan 2021 12:00:00 +0000 James Hakim 0:57:55 no James Hakim - Genesis https://sa.hpwl.org/sermons/111211326352070 When God's providence hurts, our thoughts must be controlled not by the pain but by His precepts and promises. https://sa.hpwl.org/sermons/111211326352070 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 10 Jan 2021 12:00:00 +0000 James Hakim 0:57:38 no James Hakim - Genesis https://sa.hpwl.org/sermons/1521215227178 Often, one of God's loving and wise purposes in difficult providences is to provoke us to renewed repentance https://sa.hpwl.org/sermons/1521215227178 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 03 Jan 2021 12:00:00 +0000 James Hakim 0:45:58 no James Hakim - Genesis https://sa.hpwl.org/sermons/1221201313516142 When God brings us through affliction to fulfillment, He is increasing our holy forgetfulness, hearty fruitfulness, and hope-full faith. https://sa.hpwl.org/sermons/1221201313516142 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 20 Dec 2020 12:00:00 +0000 James Hakim 0:50:24 no James Hakim - Genesis https://sa.hpwl.org/sermons/121420134406100 God, who brings down the proud and lifts up the lowly throughout the course of His providence, is eternally and exceedingly bringing down the proud who do not yield to Christ and lifting up the lowly who abandon all self-trust and self-glory to trust in Christ and glory in Christ. https://sa.hpwl.org/sermons/121420134406100 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 13 Dec 2020 12:00:00 +0000 James Hakim 0:48:09 no James Hakim - Genesis https://sa.hpwl.org/sermons/127201323152358 Friends forget us, but the Lord never will. In fact, when they do so, it is precisely because He is remembering us according to eternal, electing, effective love. https://sa.hpwl.org/sermons/127201323152358 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 06 Dec 2020 12:00:00 +0000 James Hakim 0:41:23 no James Hakim - Genesis https://sa.hpwl.org/sermons/113020136181638 Yahweh being with Joseph prospered some circumstances but made others much more painful and difficult. More than that, Yahweh being with Joseph sustained in him wisdom, cheerful diligence, and resistance of temptation. But most of all, Yahweh being with Joseph accomplished all that was necessary for Christ to come into the world to save Joseph—and all who believe in Him. https://sa.hpwl.org/sermons/113020136181638 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 29 Nov 2020 12:00:00 +0000 James Hakim 0:52:12 no James Hakim - Genesis https://sa.hpwl.org/sermons/1123201318486545 God's redemption is for great sinners, in order that it may display His even greater grace.

This is a dreadful truth for the unbeliever, for things are infinitely worse for them than they imagine. But, we may trust in Christ, Who powerfully brings about all of His perfect plan, according to His perfect wisdom and steadfast love. So, we may live with confidence in all that He has planned, and unswerving commitment to all that He has commanded. https://sa.hpwl.org/sermons/111620131152632 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 15 Nov 2020 12:00:00 +0000 James Hakim 0:45:34 no James Hakim - Genesis https://sa.hpwl.org/sermons/119201317334739 It is God's way to make His perfect salvation come through those hated by the ones He is saving. He has always done this with His servants, and most supremely with His Son. https://sa.hpwl.org/sermons/119201317334739 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 08 Nov 2020 12:00:00 +0000 James Hakim 0:58:41 no James Hakim - Genesis https://sa.hpwl.org/sermons/11220255435145 The fact that you are going to die should make all the difference in your life.

In God's good and wise providence, much rests upon principled rejection of worldliness and faithful initiative in our duties. https://sa.hpwl.org/sermons/92820010514502 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 27 Sep 2020 12:00:00 +0000 James Hakim 0:59:36 no James Hakim - Genesis https://sa.hpwl.org/sermons/9212010467507 By giving Himself in Jesus, the Lord has assured believers of all of His promises. This does not preclude preparations, but it does establish the priorities of being a blessing to others, and pursuing the Lord's promises in and through us. https://sa.hpwl.org/sermons/9212010467507 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 20 Sep 2020 12:00:00 +0000 James Hakim 0:39:38 no James Hakim - Genesis https://sa.hpwl.org/sermons/914201438356644 Until we have struggled with God as our greatest threat, and come out of it blessed through Christ, we have not yet begun to realize just how much danger we are actually in. Once we are safe in Christ, we have just begun to realize how there are no dangers that can ultimately harm us. https://sa.hpwl.org/sermons/914201438356644 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 13 Sep 2020 12:00:00 +0000 James Hakim 0:45:54 no James Hakim - Genesis https://sa.hpwl.org/sermons/97201334501721 The Lord employs several means at once to bring Jacob to an awareness of God's goodness and of his own unworthiness of that goodness. As those who seek to grow in awareness of the same things, we learn some of the means by which God does this for us, and find ourselves ultimately pointed to Christ https://sa.hpwl.org/sermons/97201334501721 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 06 Sep 2020 12:00:00 +0000 James Hakim 0:57:26 no James Hakim - Genesis https://sa.hpwl.org/sermons/8172019363192 Taking a vow requires great humility (because God sees everything) and gospel hope (because God is almighty and holy and just).

Rachel is wicked and weak. Leah is wicked and weak. Every single one of the fathers of the tribes of Israel is an example of wickedness or weakness or both. How will Israel, or anyone, be saved?

Introduction: A where question with a Who answer! 1. The Lord Himself is the only true blessedness 2. Abram—by being the one through whom the Christ comes—is the only true means of blessedness 3. Through Abram, in Jesus, there is blessedness for all families of the earth without discrimination, but not without exception Conclusion: God gives the greatest possible Name to those who deserve to have no good name at all https://sa.hpwl.org/sermons/61019237502381 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 09 Jun 2019 12:00:00 +0000 James Hakim 0:52:29 no James Hakim - Genesis https://sa.hpwl.org/sermons/6319132356530 Main Idea: Your focus in your life must be the same as God's focus in history... upon the Lord Jesus Christ! Introduction: Who's boring? Not the Scripture! Maybe you? 1. Christ-Driven Genealogy, Christ-Driven History. Do your mind, heart, and actions reflect the same priority? 2. Evangelistic Narrowing of Focus. Other nation-families not being eliminated. Why? So they may be saved! 3. The need for a Redeemer stronger than death. Not only are they dying. Their lives are getting shorter. 4. God's pleasure to use our weakness. Why? So that all the glory would be His in Christ. Are you weak? Conclusion: Rest upon nothing but Christ; live for no one but Christ. https://sa.hpwl.org/sermons/6319132356530 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 02 Jun 2019 12:00:00 +0000 James Hakim 0:50:01 no James Hakim - Genesis https://sa.hpwl.org/sermons/527191858172093 God's plan for you is to follow God's priorities, in God's presence, for God's praise-all of which can be summed up in one Word: Jesus! https://sa.hpwl.org/sermons/527191858172093 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 26 May 2019 12:00:00 +0000 James Hakim 0:55:18 no James Hakim - Genesis https://sa.hpwl.org/sermons/52019143736227 All the families of the earth are really one great family—and one desperately needy family who must be redeemed and reconciled by Jesus Christ.

But He is the One who has decided to appoint unto our marriages and families such a central place and powerful effect in His work in our lives. O come to Christ, and trust in Him alone for your salvation. Such a faith cannot stop at a single transaction for the forgiveness of sin. It loves His design and follows His ways. Let the sons of God see that the daughters of God are biblically beautiful, and let their marriages be a display of the gospel of grace and bring forth godly seed—people of grace, all of them: fathers, mothers, and children! https://sa.hpwl.org/sermons/22519319414445 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 24 Feb 2019 12:00:00 +0000 James Hakim 0:55:47 no James Hakim - Genesis https://sa.hpwl.org/sermons/218191524265037 The family has been a focal point of Satan's attacks upon God and His people from the beginning.

Are you merely a son or daughter of men--still languishing in your sin in the first Adam? Or, are you and your household children of God by grace: calling upon His Name, calling by His Name--having the Lord Himself at the center of your life and your home, so that all of life can be described as a walking with Him, as you enjoy His rest in Jesus, who has removed our curse and is destroying the works of the devil? https://sa.hpwl.org/sermons/218191524265037 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 17 Feb 2019 12:00:00 +0000 James Hakim 0:46:57 no James Hakim - Genesis https://sa.hpwl.org/sermons/211191632206059 Either by grace, we are dead to sin and killing it; or, sin is killing us and will do so forever. https://sa.hpwl.org/sermons/211191632206059 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 10 Feb 2019 12:00:00 +0000 James Hakim 1:05:20 no James Hakim - Genesis https://sa.hpwl.org/sermons/128191345597047 Children of parents who express faith in Christ have so much promise--and so much promised concerning them.
